If a baby is born in the Tardis, on Doctor Who, When is it's birthday? Such saying, does River Song(Aka Melody Pond) Actually have a birthday?
Answer
I would assume they have an Earth Calender or the Tardis Monitors 'Earth Time" to remind them of how long they've been traveling as I thought The Doctor makes a point to drop them off a matching time after departure.. lest They noticably age over what would be a weekend to friends and coworkers on Earth if they're away a year or more
ie.. If they Leave on February 10th 2013 and are traveling for 7 days the Doctor would try to return them on Feb 17th 2013... thus despite visiting Planet X in the year Eleventy Jillion and 4 on day 2 when Baby is born... their B Day would be Feb 12, 2013

Meet the men who spy on women through their webcams.
"... only minimal technical skill is now required to deploy a RAT and acquire slaves. Once infected, all the common RAT software provides a control panel view in which one can see all current slaves, their locations, and the status of their machines. With a few clicks, the operator can start watching the screen or webcam of any slave currently online."

Paragraph 7.1:
"...you clicked anywhere in their apparently innocuous page, believing you were doing nothing dangerous, but in reality you were activating your microphone and/or your webcam for Flash access, allowing the remote attacker to spy on you instantaneously."
On the other hand, if you use Firefox you can install the free and open source NoScript extension (yes, this one), which provides the only viable and safe protection available today: the ClearClick technology. "
Use Firefox, with "NoScript" to greatly diminish the chance of this, and many, many other exploits that leverage the power of JavaScript.

Google Chrome, by default, allows access to webcams.
Change that to disallow.

On laptops, one fail-safe method is to cover the lens.
Use a plain "Band-Aid" (no kidding), positioned so the soft fiber pad is over the lens. This reduces scratching.
On the extreme end of one half, fold a 1/2" section back on itself (sticky to sticky) which creates a "pull tab" so you can un-mask the lens when you want it. Secure the other end on the other side of the lens.
